In addition to providing novel compositional data, a more
detailed nutritional and functional characterization of jabuticaba
and jussara and their fractions (peel, seed and pulp) will hopefully
allow assessing the technological potential of these fruits
and value-added products, thus contributing to the sustainable
use of Brazilian Atlantic Forest resources.Therefore, the aim
of the present study was to determine the antioxidant activity
and the chemical composition of jabuticaba and jussara fruits
and their fractions (Supplementary Fig. S1), with emphasis on
phenolic compounds, carotenoids, tocopherols and minerals.
